Hello, I have a problem with a quick on my ranger. It usually occurs after a certain driving performance (about 10Km) and at a speed from about 80KM/h. I also do not know if it comes from the front or from the rear. There are no wind noises. Does anyone know this problem? Thanks

Hello! Since the day before, we have had a Ranger 2.5 TDCi EZ 07 with now 76 tkm. He has built up a tuning box which should lift him to 171 hp. Could even be, I drove yesterday with the car with real 130 kmh the Pommer in the Kassel mountains. The old 2004er only managed to do so with 110. I bought the car in Sweden and could already gain a few experiences on almost 1500 km overpass. I am so excited about the car, the power difference to the 2004er is already enormous. In average it needs about 2 l less than the old one. On snowy Swedish roads 500 km with all-wheel speed 90, 52.5 l consumes. On the AB in D 540 km with average speed 120 55 l consumes. The commonrail engine is a great progress. At 140 kmh you can still talk, great. Only the seat is still quiet… , but now we have a problem: At speed 120-130 buzzes in the car as if you don’t want to hit the engine again.

A happy hello from a newcomer here. I’m going to get a SUV in the summer, just have to go in the fall!Winter torment me again and again on shaky forest paths. So purely optical and of the interior size the Maverick is for me the racer! The 2,3 L from year 2004. I am interested in the experiences here, susceptibility and what you might have to pay attention to. Because the prices are remarkably cheap (compared to CR-V, RAV 4 etc.). What do the spare parts costs look like? Thank you very much!

Hello guys, a question: does anyone know how to get the new ranger to expand the car radio? For half detailed descriptions I am very grateful to you!!! I bought an MP3 Ipod system and must also be installed at the rear of the radio. Thank you.

Hello together, I have massive problems with rust in my 2018 Ranger Wildtrack 3.2l. After 2 years the paint under the door handle has already rusted properly and also the handle on the tailgate. The two things were taken over by Ford as part of the rust protection guarantee. After again 2 or 3 years the other door handle came the same and the tailgate rusts at the lower edge. These damages were rejected. Who knows the problems? We don’t need to talk with the car dealership – they are stubborn and unsympathetic. Greeting Jürgen

Hello fellow forists, I’m the newest owner of a Ford Ranger Wildtrak year 2024 with the 2.0 BiTurbo. Had the situation today that when I parked backwards at the same time I got the message from the front parking sensors as well as both rear lateral traffic alerts. Through obstacles front and cross traffic the system also reacted perfectly. At the same moment when it started to tingle from all sides, the corresponding message “front parking aid not available/sensor blocked”. Then I had also with the rear PDC permanent beep though no obstacle was in the way. After a restart of the vehicle and re-opening and parking no problems any more recognizable. Sensors are all free, not damaged or loose. Could it be that it was a unique software problem, which was caused by the special conditions? Since now everything worked excellently for such a lapalie not to the FFH. I would be very pleased about your assessment.

Hello together, I’m new here and I have a problem. Search for my Wildtrack 07/2008 a cargo space cover made of riffle sheet, waterproof and lockable. (The factory side rollo is not much good) Who can help me further, who knows someone who builds something so customized Thanks for numerous hints blue-eye-bam

moin i have a Ford ranger bj. 2000 and now for the second time both leaf springs have been broken back. today I ordered a reviewer to find out that possibly a stabilizer could eliminate this problem. I never load my ford more than 400 kg and as an off-road vehicle should not make out to him the condition of the local roads too much. terrain he hardly sees. is there anyone here who has the similar problems? I had asked at mazda, if there are also problems with the springs with the B2500. the local kfz-meister confirmed this to me and advised me to install an additional spring position. but that is not allowed without further, as then the operating permits expires (HILFEEE!!!) slowly the thing becomes a bit too expensive for me. ford rejects every fault of himself and I will now probably hand the thing over to a lawyer. fast post would be great thanks ifl

Hello, does any of you have any information if the Ford Escape (=Maverick) Hybrid already launched in the USA also comes to us? Is a really cool car, little consumption and a lot of power despite environmental friendliness. Would like to put a new car in my winter and fluctuate still… but that would be an interesting alternative. So I would be happy about some positive information… with friendly collegial greetings Peter

For those who are interested and want to know more about it, here are some pictures of my Explorer (Gen5) modifications so far: 1. DeeZee running boards (chrome/black) 2. red wheel nuts 3. 6 cromated roof column panels 4. Protection for rear bumper 5. Dirt catcher behind the wheels 6. red cap for AHK 7. red shark fin antenna not visible 8. Speed limiter removed 9.Prins gas system with 65 liters gas tank instead of the spare wheel 10. AHK turn signal control horn by control Since the CHP (California Highway Patrol) operates the Explorer as a service vehicle, there are a lot of further modifications, but they are either not approved in Dtld. (e.g. cow catcher) but somehow unnecessary (center console made of aluminium for 4 radios, with ammunition and weapons holder and holder for a notebook). Because of a more powerful braking system (ha) replaces the lamp (who came up with the idea to install a horn has never been driven with a trailer for more than 30 minutes). b already the first set of brake discs worn) I still discuss with the TÜV… Let’s see.
